Principle Power is proposing the installation of a floating deepwater offshore wind facility with access to the ports of Tillamook and/or Garibaldi along the north central coast, about 10 miles from port. Working closely with the local public utility and community leaders, the project will be built in two phases after extensive site screening and environmental evaluation. Phase I will see installation of a 5MW floating offshore turbine to demonstrate the viability, reliability and economics of Principle Power’s WindFloat technology. The development will expand to its full nameplate capacity of 150 MW during Phase II, targeted to begin in 2012, providing clean renewable energy to the northwest’s Columbia Grid and beyond.
